The treatment of 2‐chloro‐10‐methylphenothiazine, 1 , with lithium alkylamide/alkylamine or lithium dialkylamide/dialkylamine yields the corresponding 2‐ N ‐alkylamino‐or 2‐ N,N ‐dialkylaminophenothiazines in good yields via phenothiazyne. No significant reduction of 1 to 10‐methylphenothiazine is observed. Yields of amines obtained by this method are considerably higher than those obtained by reacting 1 with sodamide in refluxing amine solvent. Attempts to introduce the ‐CH 2 CN moiety onto the phenothiazine nucleus by treating 1 with sodamide and acetonitrile in liquid ammonia produced only 2‐amino‐10‐methylphenothiazine.
